how to open other doors on the ground

I know all my door commands, however, I can't open up the baggage and cargo doors on the FSX airliners, or trigger the animated baggage cart and ramp. It would appear that they are useable bcause of two things:

1.The AI airliners all open these doors up on the ground.

2. I've seen the baggage carts (the default ones placed at every gate) automatically pull up to the captainsim aircraft when I opened up those doors.

Getting the baggage cart over to my airliner has always been a hit or miss shot.
Make sure there are baggage carts nearby. If I don't see them, I usually don't get them to come to the plane.
Make sure you are right on the line at the gate.
Make sure your brakes are set. I don't know if this in any way a trigger but what the hey!!
Call the jetway.
Open all the doors including cargo.
Then wait for FSX to decide if you're worthy! Like I say, I can do all of the above and then have nothing happen. I've even left the game on and walked away for a little while to see if maybe the carts were on lunch break or something but no dice. 50/50 shot.

And just to make sure, you are holding the shift key down and then hitting the E key and then 1, 2 or 3? If so, I'm at a loss. When FSX doesn't do what it's basically supposed to do, I'm at a loss. Sorry.

Well, usually when I tried it, immediatly after hitting shift-E a door would open and hitting 1 2 or 3 would do nothing. I'll try again, in the way stated above. I hope it'll work, because i want to see the luggage carts...
